Windows 7: 59Hz

For some reason Windows 7 beta is forcing my display refresh to 59Hz instead of allowing me to set it at 60Hz. If I change the setting the next time I look its back to 59Hz in display settings and as soon as I hit apply in the Nvidia CP.

Monitor is Hannspree 28" 1920x1200 LCD and the Vista 64bit driver is installed.

It could be, but what hardware "likes" shouldnt really come into play though.. I would say that it's definitely a problem with Win 7 because it works fine in Vista/XP/Ubuntu. I can select it to 60Hz in Display Settings and Nvidia CP but it just won't stick.

Thanks for taking the time to help, currently I'm running the leaked 185.20 alpha driver but I've had the same problem with the default driver included in the Windows 7 public beta as well as Nvidia's latest WHQL 181.20 (181.20 causes crashes in Fallout 3)

Done the web searches about Win 7 resetting my Samsung T260 monitor on startup to 59hz (from proper setting of 60hz) which annoyingly reduces text size.
Can't find an answer!
Appears many others suffer from this 59HZ 'bug'.

Refresh rate won't go above 59hzI have a 8800 GTS running with an HP LP2275w monitor. I just installed win7 and for some reason it won't let the refresh rate go above 59hz. My monitor is capable of running 60hz. This may not seem like a big deal to some, but I actually find it quite disorienting. When I change the video settings...
